Hippophae rhamnoides ‘Altaiskaya’ is a sea buckthorn cultivar renowned for its exceptional hardiness and high-quality fruit. This vigorous fruit-bearing shrub has a dense, bushy habit, making it well-suited for edible hedges, soil stabilization projects, and ecological landscaping. Its deciduous, silvery-gray foliage offers subtle ornamental appeal and excellent tolerance to harsh conditions, including poor, dry, or sandy soils. The ‘Altaiskaya’ variety is prized for its bright orange, good-sized berries, which are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, making them particularly sought after for processing. Like all sea buckthorns, a male plant is required to ensure fruit production. Perfectly adapted to Quebec's climate, this shrub combines productivity, extreme cold resistance, and great ecological value.
